Felix Trifles with Time
About Felix Trifles with Time
Hungry Felix finds Father Time in a field and offers a silver dollar to be sent, for one day, to an easier age. Father Time puts him in prehistory. A giant lizard chases him off a bone he hoped to eat. A caveman tailor skins him for a suit with a tail; Felix waits until the man swims and steals the pelt back. A mastodon is still after him when Father Time's alarm rings and the spell drops him back in his own day.
